    Illegal title...lol

    Poem title can use any letters, however the actual BODY
    of the poem itself can not.

    Eddy, can each letter be used more than once, or is it one letter, one word?

      You can use each letter as many times as you wish...you can even do an entire poem in a single letter if your heart so desires. You might want to check
      out the lyrics contest too, something I think you could wrap your mind around.

      lol...exactly WHY I wanted you to give them a try. After these 5 are done
      I planning a real brain teaser...it will definitely separate the men from the
      boys...

      Why not drop your "ceiling fan" and two other writes into the largest contest
      going on right now. One would thing you could get some good critiques
      since there should be a fair number of reads there. You can enter 3
      prewrites in about a minute. Just click the "enter prewrite" then use
      up and down arrows to select your poem. Once added do again until
      you have enter the 3 max. entries.

    If you entered this and didn't get "any points" please let me know
    so I can correct it.

    I think the system may have messed up.
